Thai Salmon Curry
Warm yourself from the inside out with a steaming bowl of curry. Salmon is a superb source of healthy fats, especially omega-3s which nourish the body and brain and may benefit cardiovascular health.[1]
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 3-4 salmon fillets
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 2-3 teaspoons (tsp) red curry paste (to taste)
- 1 tin of coconut milk

- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 bunch broccolini, sliced
- 1 red capsicum, sliced
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1/2 tsp sugar (optional, balances flavour)
- 1 lime
- Coriander leaves
- Fresh chilli, finely chopped
Method:
- Add coconut oil to a deep sided pan. Cook salmon fillets (skin side down) for 4-5
minutes each side and remove from pan.
- Sautee onions, ginger and garlic for 5 minutes.
- Stir in curry paste, coconut milk, vegetables, fish sauce, and sugar, and simmer
until vegetables are almost cooked.
- Add salmon (whole fillets or cut into bite size pieces) and simmer gently for 2-5
minutes until vegetables and fish cooked.
